The Salikon Award was established in 1987 by Astrid Lindgren\u2019s World (until 1989 Sagobyn). Between 1987 and 1989 it was known as the Pippi Longstocking Award, and then as the Astrid Lindgren\u2019s World Award until 2019, when it was given its current name. The Salikon Award is named after the secret name of a magical rose bush in Astrid Lindgren\u2019s story Most Beloved Sister.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
